Reply #28: No moves

Well I only even go near a church for the big three (born, married, death) of a close relative - and sometimes not even then so the most recent analysis comes from about 3 years ago (a wedding).

The liturgies etc bore me to tears - its very similar to University where you get a professor droning on in a monotone and you do things like count the brick on the wall to pass the time. No anger of annoyance but just crushing boredom. The singing and songs also just fade - sort of like a radio playing in the background because my mind is elsewhere counting bricks or or mentally undressing the choir girls (yes, I'm evil :evilgrin: ).

However there is some music of a religious nature I do like - I have a slight like for certain Gregorian chants (not because I understand the words, but more the cadence and intonation), some Muslim music, some of the Native American medicine dances, and specific organ music (for example I can't stand "here come the bride", but love the "death march").

As for carols - well after being submitted to the grating and screeching of mall carols I am afraid that even an organ version accompanied by Gregorian monks chanting "Silent Night", I would go ballistic.
